Abstract

By arguing that IAS-IFRS standards may have supported the recent financial crisis, Bernard Colasse (2011b, 173) aims at refreshing the way academics look at financial reporting. Thanks to a theoretical discussion and a review of research dealing with the IAS-IFRS fair value accounting, we propose to put evidence that studying the preparation of accounts may be the way to finally answer to Bernard Colasse (2011b) call.
